Although MSMEs contribute significantly to strengthening the regional economy, they still face various challenges related to optimal management. Many MSME actors believe that more accurate financial decision-making and greater operational efficiency can be achieved through the use of digital technologies such as accounting information systems and e-commerce. This research involved 135 MSME respondents in the culinary sector located in Bengkong District, employing an associative quantitative approach. Data processing in this study was conducted using multiple linear regression analysis with the aid of SPSS version 25. The results indicate that both accounting information systems and e-commerce have a significant effect on MSME performance, although the magnitude of their influence differs, both individually and jointly. The obtained Adjusted R² value of 0.455 suggests that these two variables can explain 45.5% of the variation in MSME performance effectiveness.

The X @TanyaRL application is a platform that utilizes chatbots to efficiently deliver public service information. However, there are still limitations in the chatbot's ability to understand conversational context, as well as in the quality of the content, which has yet to fully meet user expectations. This has resulted in a low level of follower engagement in replying, highlighting the need for scientific research to understand the factors influencing digital engagement. This study aims to analyze the influence of chatbot usage and content quality on followers’ interest in replying on the X @TanyaRL application. Data was collected from followers through field surveys using a stratified random sampling method. Data analysis was conducted using both quantitative descriptive and qualitative approaches, with the help of SPSS version 26 and multiple linear regression. The results indicate that chatbot usage does not significantly affect followers’ interest (significance value 0.106 &gt; 0.05), whereas content quality has a significant effect (significance value 0.004 &lt; 0.05). Simultaneously, the two variables contribute 43.60% to followers’ interest in replying. Therefore, improving content quality has greater potential to enhance follower interaction compared to relying solely on chatbot functionality</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em>C</em><em>hatbot usage, content quality, follower interest, </em><em>uses and gratification, theory of planned behavioral</em></p> Ayanda Zahwa Sekar Cendani Ageng Rara Cindoswari Copyright (c) 2026 SCIENTIA JOURNAL : Jurnal Ilmiah Mahasiswa 2026-02-07 2026-02-07 7 5 10.33884/scientiajournal.v7i5.10591 FAKTOR–FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI KEPUTUSAN PEMBELIAN PELEMBAB WAJAH GARNIER DI KOTA BATAM https://ejournal.upbatam.ac.id/index.php/scientia_journal/article/view/10367 <p><em>This study aims to identify and analyze the extent to which Brand Ambassador, brand image, and product quality </em><br><em>influence consumer purchasing decisions for Garnier facial moisturizer products in Batam City.

As long as this program is running, the media continues to monitor and present the development of this program. In general, this program represents a major step for the government to implement comprehensively. However, obstacles encountered on the ground have made it quite difficult for all parties involved, ranging from the very large budget that must be controlled for efficient operation to technical issues such as the lack of equitable distribution, which has resulted in many regions not yet implementing this nutritious meal program.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> News framing, nutritious meal, media, tirto.id, tempo.co</em></p> Budi Aditya Michael Jibrael Rorong Copyright (c) 2026 SCIENTIA JOURNAL : Jurnal Ilmiah Mahasiswa 2026-02-07 2026-02-07 7 5 10.33884/scientiajournal.v7i5.10590 STRATEGI KAMPANYE DIGITAL ANTI HOAKS PROGRAM TULAR NALAR-MAFINDO DI KOTA BATAM https://ejournal.upbatam.ac.id/index.php/scientia_journal/article/view/10584 <p>Hoaxes have become a serious issue in the digital era, especially among new internet users who often lack digital literacy. This study aims to analyze the anti-hoax digital campaign strategy implemented by the Tular Nalar-MAFINDO Program in Batam City. The campaign responds to the increasing spread of false information, particularly among the elderly and students. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that the campaign strategy was built on clear audience segmentation, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and media selection tailored to target characteristics. The program consists of two main segments: Akademi Digital Lansia (ADL) and Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK), each applying specific communication approaches. Elderly participants responded better to conventional media such as booklets and leaflets, while students were more effectively reached through digital platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp. Evaluation using pre-tests, post-tests, and behavioral observation showed increased awareness and ability to identify hoaxes. The study concludes that a community-based, participatory, and digitally integrated approach can strengthen public resilience against disinformation. The results are expected to serve as a reference for future digital literacy programs in Indonesia</p> Marisa Triargarini Riswandi Riswandi Copyright (c) 2026 SCIENTIA JOURNAL : Jurnal Ilmiah Mahasiswa 2026-02-07 2026-02-07 7 5 10.33884/scientiajournal.v7i5.10584
